Quote: Are you talking about the sleeve that slips over the barrel? The sleeve has a notch, which should catch at some point when you rotate it. Then, it will seat, and you can tighten down the barrel nut.
Yes, exactly! The barrel nut when tightened to where it was before cleaning allows the sleeve to pull out forward so that it comes out of the notch and actually rotate. I was able to remove the barrel nut when cleaning by hand. (I did not even know the wrench was in the box.) So, when reassembling, I tightened the nut by hand and noticed the play in the sleeve backward and forward.
I guess the bottom line question is this? Should I tighten the barrel nut using the wrench all the way down so that it is flush with the sleeve? Is it normal to require alot of torque? I am sure I have not crossed the threads. Thanks again, Mike
